A town of 48,730 residents is implementing a new cancer screening for all residents. One half of one percent (0.5%) of people in the town actually have the disease. The test has a 92% accuracy rate for positive results, with an 8% false positive rate for detecting cancer.

The  complete question is:

A town of 48,730 residents is implementing a new cancer screening for all residents. One half of one percent (0.5%) of people in the town actually have the disease. The test has a 92% accuracy rate for positive results, with an 8% false positive rate for detecting cancer.

How many people in the town have cancer? How many do not? Explain your answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find out the percentage of people who actually have caner. It is given that the percentage is 0.5%.

As 0.5% = 0.005

therefore: 48730 * 0.005 = 243.65

Rounding it to the nearest person  = 244

Remaining will not have the cancer which are = 48730-244 = 48,486

Asnwer:

People having caner: 244

People not having cancer: 48,486

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
